Tinsel on tree, yes or no ?

[LardLizard]

?

No, not on the tree itself. We have two sets of lights so there just isn't the room. Round the door knocker though.

Nope. Lights and lots of decorations and a fairy on top but no tinsel for me.

Someone has called my baubles gaudy! That's a step too far

If you like it yes, if you do t, no.

Yes

No. It’s cheap and tacky.

Nope.

Looks cheap, tacky, messy and quite frankly common.

It sheds everywhere, makes the tree look like a child's drawing and adds nothing.

No. We have wired ribbon instead. I like tinsel wound through the banisters though. The thick bushy stuff in silver although this year we are making our own garland instead.

We do tinsel, beads, tinsel, beads. Had a blue and silver scheme for years, now have a chocolate brown/black/bronze/gold which looks great. How great it will look this year once assembled in the playpen to stop DD 9 months from getting to it remains to be seen. Also presents an extra challenge to the cat who loves climbing it.

Lights have to be multicoloured though. Reminds me of my childhood. Had just white lights one year and it just wasn't as cosy and Christmassy. No OH to argue about anything Christmassy this year-hurrah!

Ha!

I'm honestly none of those things - I like a clean house but not clinical, I couldn't give a shit about appearances and I definitely don't have a bleached arsehole I do like my matchy tree though.

No, I hate it.

Hate tinsel, beads look much better
(Although I do like to sniff the tinsel in the shops, reminds me of my childhood)

Yes! It was the only place we put tinsel when I was little.

No, I use coiled ribbons instead.

Better than chavvy american bows

I suspect that the people with matchy matchy Christmas trees are the same people that bleach their arseholes

Yes, silver only. Silver lametta also (sparingly applied). I like the sparkle.

We have a real Xmas tree, so don't put it up until the 20th at the earliest. But we have tons of mismatched, old and sentimental decoration and tons of tinsel!
DD1 loves the smell of the tinsel itself and will sit there 'sniffing' it and saying 'This is Xmas!'
Who am I to argue?

Yes! Silver and white here.

The exception that proves the rule, surely!

@wrenika

Nope, my DP is scared of tinsel. (Completely illogical fear and he know it, but many of us have very strange fears and phobias!)

I have a slight tinsel phobia actually. Touching it more than just looking at it.

ProfessorMoody Ah well I supposed I’m just prejudiced. Christmas tree-ist? Continue to enjoy your matchy matchy tree, please don’t feel you have to bleach your arsehole on my account

Nope! My tree is in no way matchy but I don’t like tinsel. I’m more a traditional, subtle wooden toys / unique items from Christmas markets tree-decorator unlike my dad who has one of those neon flashing eye-burning insults of trees. You need sunglasses to enter the bloody lounge.

I even sliced oranges, dried them in the oven and tied them to the tree with ribbon last year and they smelled lovely was bleaching my bumhole whilst they dried in the oven, it’s the way that I roll

This thread took an unexpected turn.
